| Sanjeev Kumar Singh | Member | Ghaziabad | We, the undersigned, urge the Parliament of India to review the upcoming Income Tax Act of 2025 with a specific request: the inclusion of "Cost Accountants" (CMA) in the definition of "Accountant." This will enable Cost Accountants to gain recognition and be legally authorized to perform tasks traditionally performed by accountants, including tax audits, in line with their educational qualifications and professional expertise. The profession of Cost and Management Accountancy is integral to the business world. As experts in cost management, financial reporting, and strategic decision-making, CMAs are highly qualified to contribute to the effective implementation of the Income Tax Act. It is imperative that the profession of CMA receives the recognition it deserves under the new framework, ensuring that CMAs can play an active and recognized role in the country’s taxation system. Arguments Supporting the Inclusion of CMAs: Equal Training and Education: CMAs undergo rigorous education and training, which includes comprehensive coverage of taxation, accounting, and auditing topics. Their curriculum is comparable to that of Chartered Accountants, making them equally capable of handling taxation and accounting duties. Increased Access and Inclusivity: Including CMAs in the Income Tax Act will expand the pool of qualified professionals who can conduct tax audits and other related services. This will lead to greater accessibility, reduced workload on Chartered Accountants, and more efficient implementation of the tax law. Broader Expertise in Costing and Management: CMAs possess specialized knowledge in cost accounting, which is integral to the financial health of businesses. Their expertise in cost management, financial planning, and strategic decision-making gives them a unique perspective when analyzing financial statements, thus enhancing the quality of tax audits and filings. Global Practices and Recognition: Across the globe, the role of Cost Accountants is recognized and valued in accounting and tax-related activities. For instance, many countries include Cost Accountants in the legal definition of an "Accountant" under their respective tax laws, acknowledging their ability to perform tasks traditionally reserved for accountants. India should align with these international practices to ensure that the profession is in line with global standards. Addressing the Skill Gap: Including CMAs in the definition of "Accountant" will help address the growing demand for qualified tax professionals in India. With India’s rapidly expanding economy, businesses require highly skilled professionals to navigate the complex taxation system. By including CMAs, the government can meet this demand and ensure that businesses receive high-quality service. Promoting Professional Equality: The exclusion of CMAs from the definition of "Accountant" creates an artificial distinction between two professions that are equally capable in terms of training and qualifications. Including CMAs in the Income Tax Act would promote professional equality and ensure that all accounting professionals are treated fairly, regardless of their specific designation. |
